Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $1.00 - $3.00 USD; Graded (PSA 10): $15.00 - $25.00 USD
Recent Sales
Raw copies consistently sell for $1.00 to $2.00 on eBay. PSA 10 gem mint examples generally realize $15 to $20.
Condition Details
Card shows good overall surface luster and clean edges; corners appear sharp, though slight soft touches may be present on top right and bottom corners. Centering looks slightly shifted horizontally.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of submission ($15–$25+) exceeds or equals the potential graded value, and this is a high-volume retail insert with limited upside unless in a high-value Chrome/Parallel variation.
